<p>As someone who had lost so much to ponzi schemes and internet fraud, I never taught a platform like steemit ever existed but finding this platform has been one of the best things that has happened to me this year. My life has been  a passive one, I go through life not taking note of my surroundings or wanting to know why certain things happen the way they happen.</p><p>Steemit has challenged me intellectually. Now, my writing skills has increased. My reading habit has improved and I'm more knowledge.  I see things happen and I want to know why they are happening because I want to write about it on my blog. </p><p>90% of my friends are steemians. I have a new circle of friends, people who are goal oriented and seeking to make an impact and this drives me too. I have never heard of crypto currency before joining steemit, now I know so much about cryptocurrency and I'm still learning.</p><p>Steemit has become an alternate source of income. Although my post do not get double figures yet but I'm grateful that I have somewhere I can fall back for little cash whenever the needs arises. It has helped my social interactions too and my brain is always active seeking and thinking.</p><p>Steemit is a blessing, it has made me a busy person. A busy mind yields positive results. Good thinking gives good product.</p>
